THE WEEKEND PLANET’ SAT 17.11.12

2205

THEME: details below, as per the original CD. This cut is also on these compilations:

‘Kurdish music that converges with other forms of music’ is the leader-composer’s description of his music; he composes the written notes, but leaves room for all participants to improvise and inter-act.

Emek Evci’s double bass bounces along nicely and percussionist Youssef Hbeisch steps out, as well as supporting, on various hand-drums.

Says the composer:composed in a major pentatonic scale with a ‘locomotive’ rhythm, like the music of Ali Hassan Kuban. This is the kind of piece that you could imagine with an accompaniment of East African high-pitched singing!’

Begins with Joseph’s oud alone, soon joined by Ben Rodgers’ electric bass and James Tawadros on req. (small frame-drum/tambourine, with jingles).

Moves from wistful to very exuberant, with super-alert interplay and virtuosity
